Good morning friends, happy Monday and Christmas Eve! ๐ค
Lord, sometimes the Advent season can be stressful, even difficult.
There are moments of awkwardness when someone gives you a gift and you have nothing for them, or vice versa.
There are moments of loneliness amid the bustle. The pains of fractured relationships seem especially sharp at this time of the year.
Please keep my eyes focused on you. Help me not get so invested in the idea of a โperfect holidayโ that I neglect my daily time in prayer.
Wishing all of you an amazing day, sending virtual hugs to those in need of one! ๐ค๐ฅฐ
Remember to put your mental health first and continue to stay focused!
Merry Christmas,
Olivia ๐๐

Welcome, My name is Olivia Shepherd, and I am the founder of this awesome blog about depression and mental illness. I started this blog in 2016 after being diagnosed with Major Depression, Anxiety and PTSD. I didn't have anybody to talk too or share my feelings with, so I decided to share them publicly to help others.
I'm passionate and dedicated to bringing awareness about mental health, especially in the African American community.
I also want to empower your voice to speak up and fight the stigma surrounding this illness.
Iโm also the founder of AshesToBeauty Mentoring & Outreach, a virtual online service dedicated to to the positive development and accelerated recovery of girls and women who have experienced abuse and depression, Ashes To Beauty strives to empower women to take their lives back by providing life skill education, one-on-one mentorship and impactful personal tools by which these impacted women can build the foundation for a successful future.
Look forward to having you read my blog,
